On the facts found by the trial judge (the respondent was the helmsman of the sampan during a high-speed chase with one unauthorised entrant aboard), the Court of Appeal held the trial judge erred in ordering concurrency and in the quantum of the sentence for the sea‑safety offence; the correct disposition was a 3‑year term for the Immigration offence and a 2‑year term for the Shipping and Port Control offence to run consecutively, producing an overall sentence of 5 years because the endangering conduct was of considerable seriousness and no mitigation warranted reduction.
